    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Removing floor on older Granby? To do or not.. or try

    I built the platform for my 06 F150 and 90's Grandby out of 2x4's that I ripped down to about 2 3/4". Then I used one sheet of 5/8 plywood.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Original Dimensions for 1983 Grandby?

    My 89/90 Grandby will only fit up to an 07 Chevrolet since the width at the opening for the tailgate is just shy of 60 inches. If I remember correctly after 07 they made the opening just a few inches smaller which would require an inches or two fix. Even though I wanted to keep a Chevrolet I...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West rear rain gutter?

    I have actually thought using a Jeep Traditional Bikini top for a rear awning. I had more then a few CJ's in past years and I don't know why they wouldn't work. Although it wouldn't cover the entire rear it would get most of it. As far as its ability to hold up, they last for years even at...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Long hot summer has me thinking...

    I use a stand up portable a/c unit. I vent it through the sliding glass window using insulated flex-duct. I found that the supplied plastic vent hose created too much heat for my liking. It does take up a little space but the southern east coast humidity instantly becomes much more manageable. I...
